This Huff Po piece on politicians staying connected when going on vacation has this vivid anecdote:
Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.) said her daughter is turning 10 on Saturday, and for her birthday she asked her mom to put away her multiple phones and iPad for the entire 24 hours. Her daughter even said she wanted to take all the gadgets away so Wasserman Schultz wouldn’t be tempted by them.
“It made me realize how often I’m not present, even when I’m present, if unplugging completely was something she wanted from me for her birthday,” said Wasserman Schultz, who is also chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee.
I wonder how this affects actual legislating. I don’t imagine it’s good.
